Nurturing a Passion for Stories. Friday, May 8, 2015. From Cinderella to Snow White, from Mother Holle to Hansel and Gretel, stepmothers in fairytales are notoriously wicked! But one of my daughter’s favorite books from her childhood was a story called The Good Stepmother by Marguerita Rudolph and illustrated by Darcy May. It is a retelling of an old Russian folktale about a motherless Princess Elena who persuades her father to let her choose the woman that he marries. An astute little princess! I am a n...

Nurturing a Passion for Stories. Friday, June 12, 2015. This month's read aloud is A Story for Bear by Dennis Hasely, a tender tale about a bear who becomes mesmerized by the sound of a woman's voice as she reads stories of sailors, goddesses, and far-off lands. I love the title of this book -it reminds us how important it is to take time to find just the right story for someone at different times in their lives. A Story for Bear is a.

Nurturing a Passion for Stories. Monday, July 14, 2014. My read-aloud for this month is the lovely book, THE QUIET PLACE, by Sarah Stewart and David Small, and so I thought I would repeat a few of my earlier posts on one of my favorite topics! Ve always had a penchant for all things QUIET: quiet people, quiet places, quiet music, quiet walks, and quiet books, to name but a few. And I was fortunate enough to grow up in a culture that valued all things - QUIET. In public places Scottish people speak much m...

http://kathleenpelley.blogspot.com/2015/06/young-writers-camp.html
Nurturing a Passion for Stories. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Last week I did a presentation for a Young Writers' Camp on Inspiration. We talked a lot about what inspires them - what breathes life into them - and we talked a lot about what helps us to write. My top writing tip - no surprise - is in the words of author, Gary Paulsen,. READ LIKE A WOLF EATS. Because, in a way, our lives do depend on stories/books. GOOD STORIES = GOOD LIVES.

http://kathleenpelley.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Nurturing a Passion for Stories. Thursday, October 30, 2014. This book by Jenny Nimmo is an all-time favorite with kids at schools - very scary story from Scotland, with a great redemptive ending that beautifully illustrates the power of grace and goodness over the forces of evil! Great for grades 5 and up. On this upcoming Hallowed night then, I hope you may have a good ghost story or two to read to your little ones - to celebrate the POWER of GOOD over EVIL. To miss this opportunity of spreading the Go...
